 Unit Overview:
 In this unit students will define money as earned income and a way to obtain goods and services. Students will also be
 introduced to the ideas of spending vs. saving and charitable giving. Students will apply financial literacy those
 situations as well as other real-world situations to collect, sort, and analyze data in up to three categories. They will
 use data to create picture and bar-type graphs as well as draw conclusions from graphs. Students will also be able to
 generate and answer questions using information in the created graphs or graphs that are given to them.

 At home connections:
     • Identify times when you are spending money on needs versus wants.
     •   Discuss opportunities to earn income, have a lemonade stand, or garage sale.
     •   Find data based on a topic of interest sort and organize the data into categories.
     •   Create bar-type graphs to represent friends’ or family's favorite colors, favorite foods, shoe size etc.

                                Estimated Time Frame: 21 Days (16 Days in GP3 and 5 Days in GP4)
 Unit Overview:
 In this unit, students will build from their understanding of nonstandard units of length (e.g. paperclips) to standard
 units of length (e.g. inches). Students will measure using customary and metric measuring tools to the nearest
 marked whole unit. They will be able to explain the relationship between the number of units needs and the size of
 the unit and use this knowledge to estimate length. They will determine area with concrete models counting squares
 and knowing that the number of squares represents the area in square units. This will build in future years to
 measuring and converting units of length and determining and using the formula for area and then finding surface
 area.
 At home connections:
 • Use a variety of household objects to measure the length of items. Discuss why it takes fewer of one object than
      another to measure the same length.
 • Have students match times on an analog and digital clock.
 • When getting in the car, about to eat dinner, going to bed etc. Ask what time it is to the nearest hour or half hour
      and explain how they know.

 Unit Overview:
 In this unit, students will expand on their knowledge of partitioning objects into halves and fourths to include eighths.
 They will not only partition objects, but they should also demonstrate knowledge of how many fractional parts are
 needed to make a whole and to count fractional parts beyond a whole. Students will be able to explain that the
 number of fractional parts needed for a whole is proportional to the size of the fractional part.

 Unit Overview:
 In this unit students will connect their understanding of addition with adding equal groups of objects. Students will
 develop their understanding of division by relating it to multiplication (adding equal groups) and their understanding
 of separating equal groups of objects. Students will understand the meaning of multiplication and division through
 using concrete and pictorial representations that lead to fact fluency.

 At home connections:
    • Explain real-world situations that include adding equal sets (e.g. finding the value of a 3 packages of foam
         plates with a count of 50 or 100).
     •   Explain real-world situations where a set of objects are separated into equal sets (e.g. sharing a 50 count
         package of candy among 5 people).

 Instructional Model
 The structures, guidelines or model in which students engage in a particular content that ensures understanding of
 that content.

 The instructional model for mathematics is the Concrete-Representational-Abstract Model (CRA).
 The CRA model allows students to access mathematics content first through a concrete approach (“doing” stage) then
 representational (“seeing” stage) and then finally abstract (“symbolic” stage). The CRA model allows students to
 conceptually develop concepts so they have a deeper understanding of the mathematics and are able to apply and
 transfer their understanding across concepts and contents. The CRA model is implemented in grades K-12 in FBISD.
